Participation is open to all teenaged female athletes who wish to compete as

kind of rewarding learning experience that encourages our scullers to return on a year-over-year basis.

The camp is designed for young women from 13 to 19 years of age with varsity rowing and/or sculling experience. We will also accept anyone with a good athletic background who wants to become an accomplished sculler.
